Title:
  ubuntu server not a good energy star citizen apparently

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Something like

  setterm -powersave=powerdown -powerdown=15 -store

  ought to do it, probably right whenever/wherever a VT is activated.

  tho when i try that command i get

  setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device

  is that the problem, something lacking in a device driver or whatever?

  or does the HP EliteDesk Pro 800 G1 SFF actually lack dpms energy star
  features?  seems dubious that it would.

  or is it just a case of finger pointing?  ubuntu saying systemd should
  do it, systemd saying getty should do it?

  whatever, i shouldn't walk up to a server terminal that's had nobody
  there for hours and hours and see it's display still burning away,
  right?
